Overview

About

Maintained by Michael MayerCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗

High-performance implementation of various effect plots useful for regression and probabilistic classification tasks. The package includes partial dependence plots (Friedman, 2021, doi:10.1214/aos/1013203451), accumulated local effect plots and M-plots (both from Apley and Zhu, 2016, doi:10.1111/rssb.12377), as well as plots that describe the statistical associations between model response and features. It supports visualizations with either 'ggplot2' or 'plotly', and is compatible with most models, including 'Tidymodels', models wrapped in 'DALEX' explainers, or models with case weights.

Changes in 0.2.2

Minor improvement

update(, collapse_m = m) will now produce a level "other p" for the p least frequent categories #52.
update() has received new default: collapse_m = 15 (was 30) #54.
Missing values in y are now checked *after* removing observations without positive weights #56.
Plotted lines now skip missing values on the y-axis, also in the ribbons #57.
Factors with explicit NA level are respected, #59.
Empty factor levels are being dropped, #60.

Maintenance

Improved logic to find discrete grids for PDPs, #61.
Better test coverage for fcut(), #63.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("effectplots", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("mayer79/effectplots")

Development version from mayer79/effectplots. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-effectplots

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-effectplots

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-effectplots

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
